2011 Toyota Sienna Wheels Problems

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THE THERE IS AN EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE WHEEL..I REGULARLY HAVE TIRE BALANCE AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY THOUSAND MILES ON MY CAR..

TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED, BUT IT HAD A NEW SET OF TIRES ON IT. THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT ABOUT 18,000 MILES DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE OUTSIDE TREAD OF THE TIRES. THE FOLLOWING IS A VIDEO I POSTED ON YOUTUBE DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/2EOK7U3RAYM

TIRES WORN OUT SO QUICKLY, I HAVE 94,500 MILES & THIS IS MY THIRD SET. TIRES STAY GOOD FOR ONLY 20,000/25,000 MILES. I DO REGULARLY TIER ROTATE, BALANCING & ALIGNMENT BUT STILL WORN OUT. I AM USING MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV4(SAME KIND OF TIERS) WHEN I BOUGHT CAR, ALL TIME. IT'S SEEMS TOYOTA HAD BAD DESIGN SO TIRES WORN OUT SO FREQUENTLY. I WENT ON CARGURUS.COM & SAW LOTS OF SIMILAR KIND OF COMPLAINS.

LESS THAN A YEAR PIRELLI SCORPION VERDE ALL SEASON PLUS 235/50/R19 TIRES FRONT TIRES SUDDENLY LOSES AIR IN THE FREEWAY. IT HAPPEN IN TWO OCCASIONS, FIRST ON THE LEFT AND THEN RIGHT SIDE AFTER ONE WEEK OF DRIVING. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPEN JULY 15, 2017 CAUSING A REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRE. THE SECOND JULY 30,2017 STILL WAITING FROM PIRELLI IF THAT BATCH OF TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE.

WE PURCHASED OUR SIENNA FEB 2015 FROM A DEALER. IN MAY 2016 WE WERE INFORMED OUR TIRES HAD WORN ON THE INSIDE AND THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND AN ALIGNMENT NEEDED TO BE DONE. WE DID BOTH AS RECOMMENDED. IN SEPTEMBER 2016 WE WERE TOLD THAT OUR TIRES WERE FEATHERING DUE TO AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE, SO AGAIN THE VAN AS ALIGNED. THE TIRES ARE BALANCED AND ROTATED PER THE RECOMMENDED TIME FRAME. I TOOK MY VAN IN JUNE 2017 TO THE DEALER TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE DONE AND WAS INFORMED THAT I WILL NEED NEW TIRES SOON. THESE ARE MICHELIN TIRES WHICH ARE 60,000 TIRES. THEY CURRENTLY HAVE 25,859 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRES MEASURED 4/32, 5/32, 5/32, AND 5/32. I HAVE HAD ANOTHER ALIGNMENT DONE IN JUNE. WE ARE NOW LOOKING INTO ANOTHER SET OF TIRES SINCE WE WILL BE MOVING NEXT YEAR AND HAVE LITTLE ONES IN THE CAR TO KEEP SAFE. I HAVE READ SO MANY FORUMS THAT STATE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WE ARE HAVING. THAT THE TOYOTA SIENNA EATS THROUGH TIRES. I WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE DEALER SHIP WHEN I QUESTIONED THEM WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD I HIT POT HOLES AND HAVE THROWN THE ALIGNMENT OUT OF WHACK AND IS CAUSING THE ISSUES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS! HAVING TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES WHEN THEY HAVEN'T EVEN GONE THROUGH HALF THE MILES THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

TIRES WEAR OUT VERY QUICKLY. I'M ON MY 3RD SET OF TIRES AND ONLY HAVE 75706 MILES.

APPARENTLY, THERE HAS BEEN TWO RECALLS INVOLVING THE TOYOTA SIENNA 2011. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM SHOW THAT THE RECALL IS STILL INCOMPLETE, OR, OTHERWISE, NOT AVAILABLE TO OFFER A REMEDY OR REPAIRS. WHAT ARE MY NEXT STEPS? SHOULD I TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIRS? SHOULD I SELL MY VEHICLE? CAN I BE REIMBURSED BY TOYOTA FOR HAVING MY CAR REPAIRED ELSEWHERE?

SUMMARY: TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 THROUGH 2012 SIENNA VEHICLES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NUMBER 110, TIRE SELECTIONS AND RIMS. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENT FOR DISPLAYING THE CORRECT VEHICLE CAPACITY WEIGHT AS THE RATED LOAD FOR THE COMBINATION OF CARGO AND OCCUPANTS. SAFETY RISK: INCORRECT INFORMATION ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD MAY LEAD TO TIRE OVERLOADING AND POSSIBLY CAUSE TIRE FAILURE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. REMEDY: TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND WILL PROVIDE A REMEDY WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE. TOYOTA WILL MAIL OUT A CORRECTED PLACARD TO CUSTOMERS ALONG WITH REVISED OWNER MANUAL INFORMATION. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 27, 2013. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE

WHEEL BOLTS BREAKING WHEN TIGHTENING BY HAND. MINIVAN HAS ONLY ABOUT 30,000 MILES, DRIVEN MOSTLY IN THE CITY IN CALIFORNIA. WHEEL BOLT BROKE WHEN PUTTING WHEEL BACK AFTER CLEANING BRAKES. TIGHTENING WAS DONE BY HAND USING STANDARD WHEEL WRENCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V273000 (TIRES) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THIS FOLLOW UP FOR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE E0S (E1S) [EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER CABLE] WHEN WILL TOYOTA FIX THIS? WE HAVE BEEN CARRYING OUR SPARE TIRE IN THE BACK OF THE VAN FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND THIS WAS ANNOUNCED 22 MAY 14. I CONTACTED TOYOTA ASKING FOR A TIMELINE OF WHEN THIS ISSUE WILL BE FIXED AND THEIR REPLY WAS "WE ARE SORRY, HOWEVER WE DO NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATED TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN THIS SAFETY RECALL'S REMEDY WILL BE RELEASED. " IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED AND THEY STILL DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED. DO THESE RECALLS HAVE AN INDEFINITE TIME FRAME TO GET FIXED. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO FOLLOW UP ON THESE OPEN RECALLS SO MANUFACTURERS CAN CLOSE THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. REGARDS,

I HAVE PURCHASED A US TOYOTA SIENNA 2011 FROM NY WHILE BEING CANADIAN LIVING IN CANADA. SINCE MAY 2014 I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE ON RECALL ABOUT MY SIENNA 2011 VIN 5TDKK3DC5BS[XXX] FOR THE SPARE WHEEL E1S, NHTSA REF ID 14V273 AND SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM TOYOTA AS OWNERS FOR THE REMEDIATION OF THIS SAFETY RECALL ( THIS APPLIES TO CANADIAN VEHICLES AS WELL). ALL WHAT THEY SAY IS TO PUT THE SPARE WHEEL IN THE TRUNK AS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR NOW, AND THIS ALSO IS NOT A SAFE SOLUTION CONSIDERING THIS WHEEL AMONG PASSENGERS AND WHAT IT COULD DO IN CASE OF IMPACT. WE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN PATIENT ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NOT SURE WHAT WE SHOULD EXPECT FROM A MANUFACTURER IN THIS CASE AND WHAT KIND OF ROLE THE NHTSA COULD PLAY, HOW LONG IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THE NHTSA FOR A MANUFACTURER TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO A RECALL, DOES IT TAKE FEW FATAL ACCIDENTS OR NOT SURE WHAT REGULATES THOSE INDUSTRIES AND HOW RECALLS ARE CONTROLLED.....UPDATED 09/11/15 *BF .

TMS-NTC-13142 I HAVE A 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA SE WITH 19" RIMS AND TIRES WHICH FAILED TO MEET THE NHTSA TEST FOR TIRE LOADING AND AS A RESULT TOYOTA SENT OUT A RECALL NOTICE TO REPLACE THE TIRES WITH EXTRA LOAD TIRES. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT HONORING THEIR REQUIREMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE REQUIRING THE TOW HITCH BE A OEM PRODUCT WHICH DOES NOT EXIST. THEY SOLD THESE VANS WITH A TOW PACKAGE BUT NOT WITH A TOW HITCH. TOYOTA DOES NOT SELL OEM TOW HITCHES INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH. AS A RESULT, CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE A AFTER MARKET TOW HITCH. NOW THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE EXCEEDS THE TIRE RATINGS AND THEY ARE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE WHEELS, TOYOTA IS REQUIRING THEIR DEALERSHIPS TO ONLY REPLACE WHEELS IF THE VAN IS EQUIPPED WITH AN OEM TOW HITCH WHICH AGAIN DOES NOT EXIST. IN OTHER WORDS, TOYOTA IS NOT HONORING THEIR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA 4 TIMES AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS 4 TIMES WITH NO AVAIL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY WHEN WE PULL OUR TRAILERS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN 11V560000.............MY VEHICLE HAS A TOW HITCH AND SO THE SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY SAYS TO NOT PLACE THE NEW TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION PLACARD ON THE VEHICLE. THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY TOYOTA FURTHER STATE THAT: "THE REMEDY FOR YOUR VEHICLE WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER MAY 2012. WE WILL SEND YOU ANOTHER NOTICE WHEN IT IS READY." I CALLED TOYOTA IN JUNE OF 2012 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REMEDY WAS NOT YET READY AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN IT WAS. I WAS PROVIDED THIS INFORMATION BY AN INDIVIDUAL NAMED [XXX] AT 800-331-4331 EXT [XXX] AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER [XXX]. THIS WAS OVER A YEAR AGO AND STILL NOT RESPONSE OR ACTION BY TOYOTA. IT FEESL LIKE THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF RESOLVING THIS ISSUE FOR ME. HOW LONG IS REASONABLE TO WAIT FOR A FIX WITH A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH POTENTIAL OVERLOADING OF THE TIRE/WHEEL?
